Transforming public spaces into stages, Our Space Is Spoken For is a multidisciplinary public art storytelling project where community members and artists of color came together to reclaim space. An inaugural TCMA project, Our Space collected stories from communities of color across the city of St. Paul around the spaces in which we live, work and play.
Twelve local artists of color were then selected to work in teams of two to make the selected community stories, along with the community member, visible by using their craft in public art performances. The process to create the performances, and the performances themselves, were documented by film -- ultimately, preserving a creative record of life in our communities.
